Fresh produce and meats like the environment their. They are helpfully finding something you need when you ask. Bread is fresh as well read more

I go here to buy carnitas, very good meat. and guacamole made very delicious, great prices for food.

My friend and I were going to make pork chili verde. We popped in to grab the ingredients, they had everything we needed and more. This place is inexpensive and has fresh vegetables. They have a large selection of meats and anything you need to create a great south of the border inspired dish. They also have a large selection of piñatas for parties. They also have a western union inside which seemed very busy. Stop in and check it out. read more

See all

Pros: Hot food section has good selection. Their Tripas is good, better than Cardenas - when they do bot run out of it. Surprisingly, you do not see flies or see very little of in the bakery or meat department. Prices are great all around. Cons: Sometimes the hot food area ladies don't speak or understand English very well. I can speak basic Spanish, so I can get by. The meat department needs to better serve their customers. They will help Hispanic folks before other ethnic groups, even if you've been standing there before other folks. Went today and it wasn't too busy. They had 3-4 meat dept folks behind the counter. Lady employee was helping a customer before me, but took forever because the customer wanted the meat to be cut in a certain way. Another guy employee was slicing meat, looked my way, said nothing then went back to his thing. Every minute or two he would walk over to the lady employee and talk to her. Whole time did not acknowledge me. Another customer came by and one of the meat dept. further down helped him out. After 3-5 minutes, two hispanic ladies stood behind me. I made sure I was closest to counter. Guess what happened? Hispanic guy overlooks me and asks the ladies behind me in Spanish what he can do for them. I interrupt him and tell him, excuse me? I've been waiting here patiently - with you looking me and you're going to skip me over? Guy ended up helping me, but if you don't look the part the meat dept may overlook you. The gals that work the counters tend to be nicer than the guys. read more

Customer service is great. Very friendly and welcoming environment. Also has a western union which is also very friendly and convenient. Love the fellow workers in there. Meat can come seasoned and prepared which tastes super awesome. New to Merced and would definitely recommend this wonderful store! read more

My friend asked to leave some cans in the store for donations for her son who had recently passed away and the manager here didn't want to help her! I will no longer shop here because of that. So selfish and inconsiderate. I'd give zero stars if I could. read more

Gross, gross, gross meat was so greasy I could have cooked 3 other meals with the amount of greasy was at the bottom of my pan. So much nerve and fat that we didn't even eat it just tossed it. Will never go back for meat there again read more

El Bajio Market - Gross!! - Meat Shops Near Me - Merced, California

Great prices on meats/seafood and produce. Really good arrachera preparada and super-helpful counter staff. I'm new to Merced, having moved recently from Mexico City, and I have been checking out different markets. I've been to El Bajio about four times since I arrived and I'm a fan. I see that previous reviews were really negative. But, I think the place is much better now. One of the guys at the meat counter told me last week that a new owner, un Mexicano, took over the market a couple of months ago. Prices are now lower, he said, and it sounds like the quality has really improved. I recently bought 2 pounds of arrachera for my new bbq grill. The counter guy recommended the version that already comes prepared with seasoning. It was the same price, so I bought it. It was great! My family loved it. I also found a great deal on raw shrimp and the produce section is great, too. My boys also like the pan dulce. I'm a fan. read more

I have had multiple bad experiences at this place every time I order food. There is this lady with the name of Maria at la tortilleria/food that lacks customer service skills. She does not like her job and makes your experience very uncomfortable. There are multiple complaints about this lady and nothing is done! Its hurting your clientele. She needs more training on how to treat customers with respect and professionalism. read more
